Federal Agency for Nature Conservation: Benthic habitats (WMS)
Description
The WMS map service provides the geometries for the benthic habitats for the North Sea and Baltic Sea that were the basis for the assessment of the seabed in the context of the status assessment pursuant to Articles 8 and 10 of the Marine Strategy Framework Directive (MSFD, ) in 2018 (https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art-8-10.html?file=files/meeresschutz/berichte/art8910/zyklus18/Zustandbericht_Nordsee_2018.pdf ; https://www.meeresschutz.info/berichte-art-8-10.html?file=files/meeresschutz/berichte/art8910/zyklus18/Zustandbericht_Ostsee_2018.pdf). The two separate datasets for the North Sea and the Baltic Sea contain the interbred Broad Habitat Types (BHT) and Other Habitat Types (OHT). BHTs, designated as widespread benthic habitats in the 2018 State Reports, correspond to EUNIS Level 3 benthic habitat classes in accordance with Commission Decision 2017/848. OHTs, designated as specially protected benthic habitats in the 2018 State Reports, correspond to other benthic habitat types in accordance with Commission Decision 2017/848. As such, in 2018, Germany included and assessed, inter alia, the two Habitat types sandbanks (EU code 1110) and reefs (EU code 1170) in the data sets.
